Yesterday as part of the annual Sonma Historic Motorsports Reunion at Infineon
Raceway (actually, as of today Infineon's naming rights expired so it is now
Sonoma Raceway), the track held a press conference celebrating the 60th
anniversary of the races in Golden Gate Park. Present were three local
ex-drivers who participated in those races and three of the original cars that
were driven in the races - an ex-Phil Hill Aston Martin DB2, a 1950 Jaguar
Parkinson Special and the Mercury flathead powered Baldwin Special. Amazing to
see the drivers (all in their early 80s) and the three cars together. It was a
kick to watch the ex-drivers all bench racing about the old days.
This Saturday at the track they will have a seminar with the 1952 race winner,
Bill Pollack (event Grand Marshall) plus five of the ex-drivers that raced in
the Park. The event is receiving local TV, newspaper and as you've seen,
Internet coverage.
